Google is also promising to minimize unintentional overuse of battery from apps in the background, plus OS optimizations that should lead to faster boot times (up to twice as fast on Pixel) and smoother apps. Oh, and there are a bunch of redesigned emojis, including over 60 new emojis.

Introducing Android 8.0 Oreo
21 August 2017
https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/08/introducing-android-8-oreo.html

After more than a year of development and months of testing by developers and early adopters (thank you!), we’re now ready to officially launch Android 8.0 Oreo to the world. Android 8.0 brings a ton of great features such as picture-in-picture, autofill, integrated Instant Apps, Google Play Protect, faster boot time, and much more.

We’re pushing the sources to Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for everyone to access today. Pixel and Nexus 5X/6P builds have entered carrier testing and we expect to start rolling out in phases over the next several weeks, alongside Pixel C and Nexus Player.
